Abstract:
Currently human-computer interaction (HCI) is primarily focused on human-centric interactions. However, people experience many non-human-centric interactions every day. Interactions with nature can reinforce the importance of our relationship with nature. This paper presents the author’s vision of human-computer-biosphere interaction (HCBI) to facilitate non-human-centric interaction with the goal of moving society towards environmental sustainability.

Abstract:
The direct interactions between people and nature are critically important in many ways, with growing attention particularly on their impacts on human health and wellbeing (both positive and negative), on people's attitudes and behaviour towards nature, and on the benefits and hazards to wildlife. A growing evidence base is accelerating the understanding of different forms that these direct human–nature interactions take, novel analyses are revealing the importance of the opportunity and orientation of individual people as key drivers of these interactions, and methodological developments are

Abstract:
Human–animal interactions (HAIs) can be beneficial for humans in a number of ways, and interactions with wild animals may contribute to human mental wellbeing, partly through nature connectedness.

This qualitative, retrospective study uses open responses from 359 participants who describe how their wild animal encounters affected their nature connectedness. Thematic analysis e

Abstract Located in the eastern section of the ancient Silk Road, the Hexi Corridor is a crucial area where eastern and western civilizations met.

Here we present the relationships and patterns of interaction between humans and nature in the region over the past 10 000 years and distinguish the stages and mechanisms of interaction, which can be divided into three periods in the region. 10 000–4000 a BP is a period of weak interact

However, with the proliferation of smart building technologies and appliances, automated machine decisions are beginning to impart their influence on building energy behavior as well.

Consequently, researchers can no longer leverage building energy consumption as a proxy for understanding human energy behavior. This paper addresses this problem by exploiti

Abstract:
The fourth industrial revolution heralds the emergence of the Operator 4.0, characterized by the augmentation of physical, sensory or cognitive capabilities of workers. This transformation involves a shift from collaborative activities between artificial and human agents toward a more radical coupling of these two entities (Romero et al., 2017). The novel forms of interactions resulting from these couplings no longer precisely align with taxonomies traditionally proposed in ergonomics for relationship between operators and artificial agents. In response, the concept of symbiosis has been intro

In this paper we acknowledge the agency of non-human entities and argue against the binaries of subject/object, mind/body, nature/ culture, science/art towards a new materiality. This new vision of the nature of materiality changes the direction of passive matter into a more active one. Technology has given us the opportunity to characterize and analyze material systems not only by their properties, but also by their potentialities. This leads to a sympoietic relation boundary between human-matter-machine interactions. In the context of an interactive artwork, agency should not be considered a

Abstract:
The human race is in continuous exchange with the natural environment. The human-environment/nature interactions are complex and continuous. Nature is a fundamental means of human survival. But today, civilization and globalization processes give it a new meaning. Anthropogenic human activity is gradually transforming the natural environment into an environmental one. The environment includes both the natural natural environment and man-made material objects related to social or economic well-being. In modern times, man is primarily a consumer. He uses natural resources, but transforms them. O

Abstract This study aimed to facilitate interaction between children and plants as a form of education about ecosystem conservation. Planting is a desired access to contact with nature in the family environment because it is safer than animals and easy care. But children may have trouble treating plants as nature life, and may not find them attractive. Plants essentially have no ability to voluntarily move, express themselves and vocalize; thus, they are hard to give instant feedback to get human’s attention and evoke human’s empathy. In light of these conditions, we propose an interactive sys

Abstract:
For more than twenty-five years, the sonification field has been attempting to establish itself as a primary body of knowledge communicating through sound. Despite multiple efforts to embrace the interdisciplinary nature of the field and the subjective nature of sound, we wonder: is the tendency for dealing with such challenges through an objective, functional communication, with a single interpretation criterion, limiting the epistemic boundaries of action? How can a subjectively perceived medium such as sound be embraced in all its aesthetic dimensions? We propose a conceptual transition thr

This paper challenges the traditional focus on individual 1on1 sessions during workflow simulations and usability testing, which often fail to capture the collaborative nature of medical workflows.

A novel methodology, based on hierarchical task analysis, is introduced. It breaks down complex workflows into subtasks and assigns th

Abstract:
Landscape approaches help to effectively facilitate ecosystem restoration for the benefit of people and nature, by leveraging Indigenous and local knowledge and enhancing context-specific cooperation between stakeholders. The process of applying landscape approaches to ecosystem restoration should be multi-lateral, iterative and inclusive. It needs to be navigated by communicating and interacting with stakeholders across different sectors and levels. Recommendations: (i) start at the landscape or seascape scale to identify and mobilize local resources and capacities for long-term restoration e

Structural details on the interacting faces of toxins and sodium channels (Navs), and particularly identification of elements that confer specificity for insects, are difficult to approach and require suitable experimental systems. Therefore, natural toxins capable of differential recognition of insect and mammalian Navs are valuable leads for design of selective compounds in insect control. We have characterized several scorpion toxins that vary in preference for insect and mammalian Navs, and identified residues important for their action.

Abstract:
Voltage-gated sodium channels (Navs) play a pivotal role in excitability and are a prime target of insecticides like pyrethroids. Yet, these insecticides are non-specific due to conservation of Navs in animals, raising risks to the environment and humans. Moreover, insecticide overuse leads to resistance buildup among insect pests, which increases misuse and risks. This sad reality demands novel, more selective, insect killers whose alternative use would avoid or reduce this pressure. As highly selective insect toxins exist in venomous animals, why not exploit this gift of nature and harness t
